attachment filtering

You need to use the regular expression option to match against a wildcard. So to catch any file attachment, click "Only check the name portion", put * in the textbox and check "This string is a regular expression".

Hi,
I'm trying to write a filtering rule that will strip all the attachments in a given message, and I'm having trouble reliably matching all attachments. I don't want to use a message attribute rule to select the messages for processing, because that rule says it matches 'attachments or multiple parts', while I only want actual file attachments. So instead I'm using an attachment filename rule.

My problem is trying to match filenames that have no extension. I've tried "*", "?", "**", "***" and "*?*" in the name portion, but I can't seem to catch files with no extension.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks.
